We all know we can never relay on Hosting Providers for having regular backups. Specially when it comes to an active forum. It has now work arounds.
I guess you are right, we are now using a bash script which use to backup daily(with help of cron) all forum files and database and shift it to some filestorage site..

DataBase is what need to be backup often. This is what need to be backed up even two/three times a day. Forum files need to be backup once a while since those don't change often.

As you said it came back in few days, so it looks like it was a big downtime, still big downtimes are not good for these websites too.

Make a daily backup. And don't use a webhost. Use a decent VPS then do daily backups.
You can like attach gdrive/pcloud to your server as a filesystem then transfer tars of the database and the forum every midnight. THen just delete 1 week old backups.
I'm doing that for my server and it's a decent backup solution.
It should be fairly easy to do a script for that then cron it.
